Bay County District Judge Timothy J. Kelly on Monday arraigned Shawn H. Steinecke on charges of carrying a weapon with unlawful intent, a five-year felony, assault with a dangerous weapon, a four-year felony, and a misdemeanor charge of possession of marijuana.

Around 3 a.m. Friday, Bay City police were sent to McLaren Bay Region hospital to speak with patient Kurtis Knapp Jr., who was receiving treatment for lacerations to his left bicep and right temple. Knapp told police he had been at Trix’s Pub, 2307 Broadway Ave., left around 1:30 a.m. and started walking in the area of Stanton and 24th streets when Steinecke and another, larger man approached him.

The large man attempted to goad Knapp into a fight, at which point Steinecke rushed him and started stabbing, Knapp said. Knapp broke away and fled to a 33-year-old female friend’s house on Stanton Street, he said. The friend took Knapp to the hospital.

The friend’s 17-year-old son told police he was having a party and that Steinecke and the other man had stopped by and tried selling marijuana. According to the son, Steinecke and the other man returned to the house a while later, claiming they had been jumped and robbed by some of the party-goers. Steinecke was brandishing a knife and Knapp punched him, at which point Steinecke stabbed him, the son said.

Steinecke started making threats to harm the people present, at which point the son chased him away and threw a brick or rock at him, which might have hit Steinecke in the head. The other attendees began beating the larger man until he too fled, the teen told police.

Later on Friday, officers contacted the larger man Knapp said was with Steinecke. The man told police people at the Stanton Street house party had beaten and robbed Steinecke. The pair left, retrieved a knife from another man, then went back to the party to reclaim Steinecke’s stolen property, the man said.

Police later located and arrested Steinecke. Though the large man and the man who reportedly gave Steinecke the knife are listed as codefendants in court records, neither one has been arraigned on charges relating to this incident.

Steinecke’s mother, Julie Lopez, said her son suffers from severe ADHD and an emotional imbalance, for which he has been prescribed Adderall. She said her son had a knife with him for self-defense as he had previously been jumped three or four times.

The night of the stabbing, Steinecke was jumped and his assailants stole his money, necklace and marijuana, Lopez said.

“He’s a good kid who was at the wrong place at the wrong time,” she said.

Kelly set Steinecke’s bond at $35,000 cash-surety. He is to appear for a preliminary examination at 2:30 p.m. on June 25.
